Debt Settler finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton on Friday but this looks more competitive and a penalty further complicates matters. We'd rather give another chance to HONEY MEADOW back over 6f as she was just beaten over course and distance on her penultimate start and only weakened close home over an extra furlong here last week. Bazooka was second on his nursery debut at Wolverhampton but never threatened to win and is 3lb higher here. Caesars Gift and Zafraaj are also struggling to get their heads in front but Sweet Angelica is unexposed and dropped a grade today.
